What does morning sickness feel like?

[sophsoph23]

Right last night before I went too sleep I felt very nauseas and then I woke up about half an hour later still feeling really sick, my stomach felt sore and I was still very nauseas, I felt like I was literally going to throw up, I was really hot and I thought it must have been a stomach bug or something.

I laid in bed and felt better after about 15 minutes. Does that sound like morning sickness.. in the middle of the night? Lol.
It was awful! I havent felt that bad yet.

Yes ma'am. I had "middle of the night" sickness.. it was awful. Thankfully it eventually passed. Before you lay down get a big glass of ice water to keep by the bed, sip on it when you can.. the cold will help a bit, or it did me.

Also, keep some crackers by the bed.
Good luck, it sucks I know!

Morning sickness can come at any time of the day or night. It can be that it makes you feel really sick like you are going to throw up or you may actually throw up, it is different for everyone. One theory is that it is when you are hungry you may start to feel a bit sick. I felt really sick every morning driving to work and occasionally during the day but haven't actually been sick. mint tic tacs helped me!

Basically persistent nausea during pregnancy=morning sickness. I haven't actually thrown up yet, but I have been nauseous for most of the last month, so I consider that to be MS! I tend to get it in the morning, but as above it can strike any time of the day.

Actually not all languages have the association with "morning" in their word for morning sickness- it's mis-named in English really. In Japanese the word for MS has nothing to do with the morning.

Yep thats it.
I never got morning sickness in the morning.
In fact, the morning was my only time of relief.
I would get mid-afternoon-night sickness.
Mine was like nausea that just won't go away, never wanting to eat ever.
It's different for everyone.

My ms started from 5am and went til about 11pm at the worst weeks.

And yep you have ms. Try keeping some food by the bed and eating slowly while you're lying down still. You might have to experience with what food works for you. Soda crackers is the typical first try but I couldn't take them and bad to go with rice crackers.

Okay thanks for the replies everyone x

What they said. Morning sickness is not restricted to the mornings. I can get it at anytime of day. I have to lie awake in bed before getting up every morning & nibble on crackers or dry cereal. If I get up too fast, I will throw up. It sucks!

Ughh morning sickness, I'm sick of it! I have Hyperemesis which is not very nice at all, and basically as well as 24 hour nausea, I vomit alot. Certain things can trigger it, like smells, sights, even just a thought of something! It started around 6 weeks and got worse, I'm nearing 14 weeks and it still hasn't gone Hope I'm not going to be one of those peeps who has it all the way through. Only thing I've found that makes it more bearable ABOVE all the drugs the doctors gave me is making home made lemonade, MMM the smell and taste seem to calm it. Got given some travel sick bands but they don't work on me, might as well throw them out the window lol!
